Flights to Moscow, Russia

Moscow is the capital of Russia as well as the former Soviet Union. Even today, the city is steeped in symbolism and history. As the second most populous city in Europe, after Istanbul, it has a population of around 13 million. Almost 10 per cent of all Russian citizens live in Moscow. Its architecture reveals the influence of the old Russian empire and the communist era.

Experience the classical Moscow by going for ballet and classical music performances at the Bolshoi Theatre and the Conservatory.

What to eat in Moscow

As a cosmopolitan city, travellers can find a range of international foods in Moscow.

For a local experience, check out the “stolovayas” (self-catering cafes) or the “rumochnayas” (traditional Russian pubs). Traditional dishes include borscht (beetroot soup typically served with sour cream), solyanka (spicy and sour soup), pelmeni (dumplings) and shashlik (Russian kebabs).

Day trips from Moscow

If time permits, travelling out of Moscow will offer different experiences, particularly in the Golden Ring region.

Sergiev Posad is very easy to get to and is home to the UNESCO heritage site Troitse-Sergeiva Lavra.

Suzdal, another city on the Golden ring is another popular spot as the city has no railway station and no heavy industry. It is often likened to a museum by itself. Both cities are connected by regular and high-speed trains.
